Density Gizmo
1. Login to explorelearning.com using the username: hphyssci4 password: scirules4
2. Launch the Density Lab Gizmo
3. Experiment a bit to become familiar with the controls and what is actually happening on the screen. *Make sure to keep the density of water in the dunk tank set to 1.0 g / mL
4. Try placing a few items one-at-a-time on the balance to determine their mass in grams, then in the graduated cylinder to determine their volume in milliliters. Jot this info down on a piece of paper. You will turn this paper into me when you're done.
5. Now divide the mass of each of your items by it's volume to calculate it's density in g / mL. Jot this info down as well.
6. Finally, try placing each of these items into the dunk tank to determine whether they float or sink.
7. Please correctly answer each of the assessment questions (at the bottom of the screen) on your paper, make sure your name is on the paper, and turn it in for credit.
